After the seminar, the Manasota Trial Lawyers Board hosted a diner and social mixer in an effort to promote networking and collaboration between attorneys.

Attorney David Shapiro had this to say about the event, “While Florida has a variety of legal industry organizations such as the Florida Justice Association, the Manasota Trial Lawyers, helps to give more voice and influence from the local Sarasota-Bradenton area.”

Attorney Stephen Fernandez commented, “With so many aspects of personal injury law important, events like the MTLB’s seminar or the FJA’s workhorse seminar give attorneys the opportunity to enhance knowledge on a wide variety of topics and be exposed to the latest tools and techniques that would be more difficult otherwise. It’s heartening to see so many attorneys take advantage of the event and become better prepared to represent their clients.”

Attorney Bernard Walsh added, “As a founder of the MTLB I am happy to see my fellow partners participate. It’s great to see so many of the area’s attorneys come together in a cooperative fashion to help strengthen the Florida justice system.”
